Affiénou is a town in the southeast of Côte d'Ivoire (formerly known as Ivory Coast), located in the lagoon region, about 100 kilometers from the economic capital Abidjan. It has a tropical climate, with vegetation dominated by savannah and farmland, and is an important producer of cash crops such as cocoa and coffee.
The economy of Afienou is dominated by agriculture, with the inhabitants mostly engaged in cocoa cultivation, fishing and small-scale trade. The population is dominated by the Adi Ukru, a branch of the Akan ethnic group, and retains a traditional village structure and folk culture. The town's infrastructure is relatively simple and it is connected by road to cities such as Abidjan.
The area is rich in traditional festivals and handicrafts such as wood carving and weaving. Surrounded by tropical forests and lagoon waters, the ecological resources are unique, but tourism has yet to be developed. Afienou is typical of the Ivorian countryside and is a window on the country's agrarian society and natural ecology.
Afienou is well connected to Abidjan by the N1 highway, but the level of urbanization is low. In recent years, Côte d'Ivoire's economic growth has led to a gradual improvement in infrastructure, but it still faces challenges such as a shortage of water supply and medical resources.
